Also have same router, quite handy.

Amazon has this set special, not sure how it compares to other sets.

Set above is 8mm so it will not fit to 1/4 inch small router that we are discussing.

I bought that exact set with my router and have no issues. That or the 12 piece set is a good buy.

This also seems like a good deal. Don't know what the quality is like, but I have been pleasantly surprised by Total and Incgo products to date.

Works well in concrete

A SDS type drill is worth it for concrete and then keep the general use drill non impact and smaller. So I would say throw in a few hundred extra and get both and not try go too big on the drill.

I bought the BOSCH GBH-185-Li SDS drill for R1699 at takealot and am now looking for recommendations for a set of bits?
I'm not likely to be doing lots of extreme work with this, just drilling a few holes here and there, maybe stripping some tiles etc.
Thanks for any advice.

Check Alpen bits. They are pricy but so worth it.

I got Metabo set, very happy with it.
Then I expanded it with some Bosch bits that were more specialized (longer 18mm and 16mm).

That's a decent price for what you are getting.. definitely a good starter set..

I spotted what seems to be the same set at takealot for a bit less. Will probably start there and then expand.
